Damp Proofing and Surveys in Greenford
Greenford’s large stock of 1930s interwar semis and postwar terraces present damp challenges specific to their era and construction. Our specialists have been solving damp problems across UB6 for over 15 years.
Why Greenford Properties Are Susceptible to Damp
Greenford was largely developed between the 1930s and 1950s, with interwar semi-detached houses forming the core of the borough’s residential stock. These properties were built with cavity walls — an improvement over Victorian solid brick — but the cavities are now showing their age: wall ties corroding, moisture-bridging insulation, and original DPCs degrading at the base of the cavity.
Sub-floor ventilation is a particular problem in Greenford. Many ground-floor extensions and rear infill additions have blocked original air brick courses, causing moisture to accumulate under timber floors. We regularly diagnose this as the primary cause of persistent ground-floor damp in UB6 properties.
Postwar construction in the area — particularly flats and council-built terraces — frequently suffers from flat-roof leaks, inadequate cavity tray installation and condensation-driven black mould in bathrooms and bedrooms with poor ventilation.
